PISA. The Tower is fine. Now that is free from suspenders, strings, weights, it is stopped, with an inclination reduced by almost 45 centimeters, demonstrating that the choice implemented by the Committee for the safeguard of the monument has been the correct one. But those around her bedside are not without worries: worries that are soon mentioned, as it had been promised, that the Committee will oversee the bell tower to the end of the work; and that after the structural restoration, the material restoration is to happen rapidly, not further delayed as it has been till now.

They have spoken of it yesterday morning. At the Work of the Primaziale of Pisa, the president of the Committee of experts, Michele Jamiolkowski, who has made a point of the situtation at the same time to the secretary, Giovanna Giannini, to professor Charles Viaggiani, and to professor Michele d'Elia. Jamiolkowski is once more in a struggle with the Italian bureaucracy and asks help from the government.
